North Sunderland, Northumberland.

Around noon on the 12th of May, 1960, considerable anxiety was felt for two local fishing vessels which were overdue. At 12.30 the life-boat Grace Darling was launched two hours after low water in an easterly gale and a very rough sea. She found the fishing vessels Faithful and Twilight Star sheltering in the lee of the Inner Fame and escorted them into harbour. The life-boat reached her station at two o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £7 4s, ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 14s..
